+**Thursday, May 10, 7:30 PM** Dolley Madison Library, McLean: Members of the Montgomery Amateur Radio Club (MARC) Kevin Whipp, W3KDW, David W2LNX, and Vic WB2U, will tell us about their work experimenting with the Linksys WRT54GL, running HSMM-MESH® software from http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/

+HSMM-MESH™ is a high speed, self diiscovering, self configuring, fault tolerant, wireless computer network that can run for days from a fully charged car battery, or indefinitely with the addition of a modest solar array or other supplemental power source. The focus is on emergency communications. In its current form it is built using the Linksys WRT54GL wireless router and operates on channels 1-6 of the 2.4GHz ISM band, which overlaps with the upper portion of the 13cm amateur radio band.
